Smoking Pipe Tobacco

Blender’s description: “Larry Loerzel, one of our regular store customers, and connoisseur of English/Balkan blends had tried Ten to Midnight, and although he liked it, he was looking for something a little fuller and different. Based on his preference, we blended a full, traditional Balkan using Orientals that were more “buttery” and amped-up the Latakia. This blend is now a big hit among our full-bodied English fans; a cool-smoking, very rich mixture.”

Tin Description: A mild easy smoking blend of fine Virginia and Burley tobaccos, made the traditional way.

Blender’s description: A pure Virginia blend from the best fields of Zimbabwe and the Eastern United States. Rolled Twist Flake, then Cavendish pressed and cut.

I have some videos up on YouTube that are especially popular. Between the 40,000 or more views, a good chunk of those are the Pipe Smoking 101 Series.

To make them easier to find and link to I arranged each video on a separate page. See the navigation section above.

I’m a little slow on the uptake with this one. It was released at the Chicago show and is already available.
Its Virginia season for this pipe smoker so I’m looking forward to trying this one over the summer. This is his first pure Virginia. No cavendish, burley, Perique, or anything but Virginias.

I think a lot of problems people encounter with pipe smoking could be mitigated by improving their use of the tamper. While a lot of care needs to go into the proper filling and lighting of your pipe, that’s not where the attention stops. Keeping the tobacco properly tamped will lead to a more pleasant smoke and a lot less relights, but doing it wrong will make things worse.

Blended with just the right prportion of Golden Virginia and Burley`s, the basic blend of Toasted Cavendish tobaccos takes on a zesty dimension. This mixture gets better as you smoke it all day long

After receiving some calls and emails from members of the New York Pipe Club lamenting the loss of Dunhill’s Early Morning Pipe, we wanted to develop a blend with similar characteristics to EMP. After a number of “tweaks”, we sent a sample to the club, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. We’re now making it available to the general public. Try this traditional English mixture of sweet Virginias, fragrant Orientals and rich, smoky Latakia.

In the tradition of the mysterious Mississippi riverboat gamblin’ men, a flavorful blend of the South’s tobaccos—Burleys, Virginias, and Perique—with the exotic taste of Turkish leaf. The odds are with you when you smoke this blend.
